Moving and other things that suck

This weekend, we have been busy moving. And it sucks. I mean it really, really sucks. It's the worst chore in the world. I would rather spend the entire day folding laundry and scrubbing toilets than have to pack or unpack one more box. Seriously, I would rather dance naked on the doorsteps of each of my new neighbors then have to move again. I may just set up shop here and refuse to leave, even if the Constable has to drag me out, because I will not move again. I say that every time I move, and I have moved four times in the last four years. So I guess we'll see.

Contemplating how much moving sucks led me to think of all the things that fall into the "sucky" category. Here is my list:

• Boredom
• My car running out of gas
• Cold showers
• Winter
• Clogged drains
• Lack of kitchen cabinet space
• Disappearing spoons
• Socks that vanish in the dryer
• Meetings that last more than an hour
• The dog chewing up my sneakers
• Broken cell phones
• Grumpy kids

But on a positive note, the opposite of all those things are pretty cool. I mean, when I find a spoon hidden in the couch cushions or my kids are giggling and having fun, I feel like I have won the lottery! What could be better?

So for now, I will try not to dwell too much on the suckiness of moving and search for socks behind the dryer that might be a match!
